OXEN

Niels Oxen is Denmark’s highest decorated war hero. While probing into the death of his best friend, who died during a military mission in Mali, Oxen is wrongfully arrested for possession of narcotics. Oxen is dishonorably discharged from his military duties and retreats to absolute seclusion in Rold Forest. Yet when the owner of the forest, Hans-Otto Corfitzen, is found dead, Oxen becomes the prime suspect. However, the chief of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, Frigg Mossman, ends up recruiting Oxen to go undercover against the knowledge of her own organisation and suddenly finds himself in the heart of a deadly web of mysteries.

OXEN is based on the book series by the same title, directed by Jannik Johansen (Borgen, 2011) and stars Jacob Lohmann (Shorta, 2020) as Niels Oxen. The series is created by Emmy-award-winning duo Mai Brostrøm and Peter Thorsboe. Their partnership began in 2000, writing the critically acclaimed series “Unit One”(2002). The duo is also known for audience hits, “The Eagle” (2006) and “The Protectors” (2010), all of which won Emmy Awards for “Best Drama”. To this day, the book series OXEN has been published in more than 14 countries to great success.
